Due to weather, this event has been cancelled. Keep an eye out for a replacement event over the coming weeks! 

Backstories is a one day multi-sited storytelling festival located in the suburbs of Perth. Reaching from Falcon to Carramar, Backstories provides new opportunities for storytellers to share stories in local backyards.

Bring a picnic and a blanket, hear from two storytellers, and meet new members of your community—all in your local area of Falcon!

Featuring local storytellers Carolina Allen and Hossein Bouazar, and facilitated by Rashida Murphy.

Please note that although this is a FREE event RSVP is essential. The exact location of this event will be emailed to ticket holders on Monday 9 March.

This project is kindly funded by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Healthway, Act-Belong-Commit, and City of Mandurah.
